Marine Corps Ball 2009

This is the first year we have been able to attend a Marine Corps Ball in Spokane because Mike is attached to the unit here now instead of the one in Seattle. So because we didn't have to travel, we invited Chet and Diane to come with us.

Want to go to the ball? How fun to dress up and eat a fancy dinner and dance all night? Hanging with Marines - at least you know you're safe!
Diane and Chet looked sharp!

Mike wears the same thing every year and always looks so fine!
I had some of my cruise gear that I was glad to be able to wear again.

I did get new shoes. And they were surprisingly comfortable!
Diane and Chet learned a lot about the military and enjoyed seeing the ceremony of the evening. Lots of sharp looking uniforms and traditions and pride.


Fancy, fancy.

Dancing - Chet kept waiting for Thriller but the closest we got was Beat it!
How fun to finally have someone to take our picture!


Mike's medals and wings.

Details - the uniform is really so sharp.

Happy 234 Birthday to the Marines!

Lookin' sharp! Glad you got photos taken, I was wondering what you wore!
Talked to Chet about the ball and he said you guys had such a great time.
Happy Birthday Marines!
